Subject: 2.5.47+ input as module broken

When CONFIG_INPUT=m is set the following occurs:

ld -m elf_i386 -e stext -T arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.s arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/built-in.o --start-group usr/built-in.o arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o arch/i386/mm/built-in.o arch/i386/mach-generic/built-in.o kernel/built-in.o mm/built-in.o fs/built-in.o ipc/built-in.o security/built-in.o crypto/built-in.o lib/lib.a arch/i386/lib/lib.a drivers/built-in.o sound/built-in.o arch/i386/pci/built-in.o net/built-in.o --end-group -o vmlinux

Normal. You have CONFIG_VT set to y and CONFIG_INPUT set to module. The VT
console system now depends on the input layer. That is why the error. I
can create a patch to deal with this. Unfortunely the console system is to
broken to handle the input layer being modular. I do have a new core
console system that can handle this.
